The Jotun Marine Tank Coating Notes apply only to the following cargo tank coating
materials and systems supplied by JOTUN. The data provided gives guidance on the
compatibility of the Jotun cargo tank coatings with cargoes carried in the marine bulk
liquid trade. The information in this document must be used in combination with the
information published on www.jotunprl.com.
For the Resistance List information to be valid the coating system(s) shall be applied and
cured in accordance with the relevant Technical Data Sheet, Application Guide (if
available) and Project Specification issued by Jotun.
The information in this document supersedes all previously published data. The data
provided herein is to the best of our knowledge correct, and is given in good faith.
Although comprehensive, it is by no means exhaustive, and the advice contained is
subject to change without prior notice. The data, advice and guidance are subject to
modification based on experience, our policy of continuous product development,
feedback from industry, and testing.
The product resistance list is regularly updated to include many proper shipping names,
trade names, and synonyms for cargoes and noxious liquid substances, which have
been transported by sea in bulk liquid form. Many of these names have in recent years
been established through Tripartite Agreements and registered with the Secretariat of
the International Maritime Organisation in accordance with regulation 3(4) of Annex II to
MARPOL 73/78.
As cargoes may vary due to changes in their constituents, composition, or concentration
without the knowledge of JOTUN, JOTUN will accept no responsibility for the

performance of its products, arising out of such changes, or changes to the conditions
under which the cargoes are transported.
General notes
I. Shop Primers.
This list applies to JOTUN cargo tank systems, which have been applied directly to
abrasively blasted carbon steel. The list does not apply if the coating systems are
applied over existing shop primers, - all shop primer must be removed. The list does not
apply to any other substrates, unless there is a written agreement with JOTUN.
As an alternative to hot curing by way of a cargo, a Butterworth (or similar) system may
be used. In either case it is vitally important that the entire coated surface attains the

minimum specified temperature for the specified time. This can be ensured by the
following:
The adjacent space must be free of ballast or cargo in order to reduce the heat
loss and also prevent a possible cold wall effect coating detachment. If the
ambient temperature is low, thermal insulation and / or hot air flushing of the tank
outside may be necessary to reduce the heat loss.
Continuously monitor the steel temperature during the curing period.
Temperature gauges should be installed at the worst locations on the reverse
side of the tank interior steel plates.
By ensuring that the discharged hot water has a temperature above the cure
temperature one may have additional control of the operation
A record of the curing operation data, with measured temperatures should be retained
for future reference.
V. Cargo Temperature.
Guidance given in this list is based on stowage temperatures not exceeding 35C for
those cargoes not requiring heating. Cargoes, which are solid or viscous at normal
ambient temperature, will need to be heated for loading, stowage, and unloading. The
temperature noted in the list is the maximum temperature allowed for stowage. This
temperature may be increased by a maximum of 10C, for loading and unloading
provided the time at the higher temperature does not exceed 48 hours.
N.B. When stowing cargoes the temperature of the cargo must not exceed the
maximum stowage temperature for cargoes in adjacent tanks.

Emissions from Inert Gas systems may contribute to, and indeed aggravate coating
discolouration, if not functioning effectively, as described above. They may also
contribute to a reduction in coating life. Carbon emissions may be adsorbed to the
surface of the coating, causing (and aggravating) discolouration, and increasing the
potential for contamination of subsequent cargoes. This will require significant
resources to remove them (chemicals, labour costs, and time), resulting in reduced
utilization of tanks. High SOx and NOx emissions from poorly maintained inert gas
systems can create harmful acidic conditions leading to coating damage, particularly in
zinc coated tanks.
Inert gas systems should be regularly checked and maintained to control
emissions to design levels.

XI. Acidic & Alkaline Cargoes.
Tankguard Zinc, in common with all zinc silicate coatings, has poor resistance to acidic
and alkaline environments. They are however compatible with some mildly acidic or
mildly alkaline cargoes within the pH range 5.5 10.0.
Diluted solutions of some cargoes can become aggressive towards coatings if
left in tanks. JOTUN recommend that after all tank washing activities, the tank must be
flushed with fresh water so that the final pH of any residues is neutral. All residues after
washing must be completely removed by draining, mopping, and finally by ventilation.
Rev 16
Revised March 2013
This document supersedes Version 15 from February 2013 Page 6 of 22
Some tank cleaning chemicals are acidic or alkaline in solution. Tankguard Zinc is more
sensitive to these tank cleaning chemicals, due to possible reaction with zinc in the
coating. Greater care has to taken in the selection and use of cleaning chemicals for
Zinc Silicate coatings. Chemicals recommended by the manufacturers may be used at
the concentration and temperature recommended by the manufacturer, provided the
solution is within the range pH 5.0 pH 12.0, the contact time is limited to a maximum of
3 hours, and the temperature is limited to a maximum of 50C. It is recommended that
for spot cleaners used at high concentration a small test is done on the zinc coating to
ensure there is no harmful effect on the coating. Highly acidic or alkaline cleaning
chemicals will react with the coating, and will cause damage.
JOTUN does not advise on the efficacy of cleaning chemicals. Annex 1 to these General
Notes gives an overview of relevant cleaning chemicals from various suppliers. The
information and advice given in Annex 1 is given in good faith, and JOTUN will not be
held responsible for the consequences of changes in composition, or mode of use of
chemicals supplied by other companies. JOTUN will be prepared to carry out evaluation
of coating/cleaning chemical compatibility, on provision of complete technical data, and
samples for testing, where necessary.

amount of FFA in an oil is expressed as its Acid Value. Acid value is approximately
equal to 2 X the % FFA. For example oil with an Acid Value of 5 will have a % FFA of
approximately 2.5. The maximum acceptable levels of FFAs for JOTUN cargo tank
coatings are as follows;
The water contained in the oil must not exceed 1% as water may increase the FFA level
above the maximum limits (n.a. for Tankguard Special Ultra) and no free mineral acid
content permitted.
Certain vegetable oil derivatives such as Fatty Acid Distillates and Acid Oils have been
known to contain traces of mineral acids, as well as water, and free fatty acids. They are
very aggressive towards coating systems. These products may only be carried provided
specific approval has been given by JOTUN. Please contact your local Jotun office for
further information.
End users are advised to consult FOSFA, NIOP Rules and Qualifications, and EC
Regulations concerning FFA levels, and prior cargoes, when transporting oils in coated
tanks.

cargo.
12). MOLASSES.
Molasses may be carried in tanks coated with Tankguard Zinc if the pH of the cargo is
between 5.5 10.0. The pH of molasses may decrease during transportation due to
fermentation. After unloading molasses, tanks should be washed with hot seawater,
flushed with fresh water, and then lightly steamed. Any residual water after steaming
must be neutral. The tank should then be drained, mopped out, and finally ventilated to a
dry condition.
